Logical Position Sensor

摘要

A method of creating a logical position sensor for a component of an automation system includes an automation device determining (i) a unique identifier for the component; (ii) a geographical position of the component; and (iii) a logical position of the component within a production process performed by the automation system. The method further includes the automation device creating a logical position sensor for the component. The logical position sensor comprises a sensor interface which provides access to the unique identifier, the geographical position of the component, and the logical position of the component.
